Abstract: A spacecraft (10) having a solar array (11) is launched into orbit at a desired orbital location. Once the spacecraft is in orbit at the desired orbital location, a reflected component of solar radiation pressure is used to selectively apply a force to the spacecraft that moves the spacecraft to perform stationkeeping maneuvers. The reflected component of the solar radiation pressure may be caused to selectively apply a force to the spacecraft in one of two ways. In one example, the spacecraft is yaw steered to follow a yaw steering profile so that the axis of the solar array is substantially normal to a plane containing the sun vector and nadir vector. The orbit of the spacecraft is then controlled to provide stationkeeping by applying an additional bias to the yaw steering profile. In another example, the orbit is controlled to provide stationkeeping by tilting (or rotating) the solar array so that the solar array is at a predetermined angle relative to the sun vector. The additional bias or tilting may be applied as a command from a control station that is remotely located from the spacecraft (on the Earth), or applied as a command in a command and control system on the spacecraft.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention
provides a development tool that enables computer programmers to design and develop a
data flow program for execution in a multiprocessor computer system. The tool displays
an interface that enables the programmer to define a region divided into multiple blocks,
wherein each block is formed of a set of values associated with a function, and to define
sets of the blocks, each block in a set having a state reflected by a designated portion of
the program that when executed transforms the values forming the block based on the
function. The interface also records any dependencies among the blocks, each
dependency indicating a relationship between two blocks and requiring the portion of the
program associated with a first block of the relationship to be executed before the portion
of the program associated with a second block of the relationship. After program
development blocks are selected for execution of the corresponding, designated portions
of the program based on the recorded dependencies.

Abstract: A portable electronic device, which has a slidingly attached touch screen (DPL1)
and a sliding lid (SL1) also slidingly installed on top of the touch screen. A
keyboard (KB1) is installed on top of the sliding lid. In a normal state, the display
of the device is partly covered by the sliding lid and, thus, protected by the sliding
lid against mechanical stress. When necessary, the display can be revealed by
moving the sliding lid away from the display, whereupon a cogging (R1) made on
the bottom of the sliding lid rotates a cogwheel (CW1), attached inside the device,
that touches the cogging. The cogwheel transmits the movement of the sliding lid
to a movement that is opposite to that of the sliding lid of the display, through a
gear rack R2 attached to the display. Correspondingly, the device can again be
brought to the normal state by moving the sliding lid back on top of the display or
the display to underneath the sliding lid, whereupon the cogged surfaces that
touch against each other cause the remaining moving element to move, and
again bring the device to the normal state.

Abstract: An impedance spectroscopy system for monitoring ischemic mucosal
damage in hollow viscous organs comprises a sensor catheter (12a-12d) and an impedance
spectrometer (20) for electrically driving the catheter to obtain a complex tissue impedance
spectrum. Once the catheter is in place in one of a patient's hollow viscous organs, the
impedance spectrometer obtains the complex impedance spectrum by causing two
electrodes in the tip of the catheter to inject a current into the mucosal tissue at different
frequencies, while two other electrodes measure the resulting voltages. A pattern
recognition system is then used to analyze the complex impedance spectrum and to
quantify the severity of the mucosal injury. Alternatively, the complex impedance
spectrum can be appropriately plotted against the spectrum of normal tissue, allowing for a
visual comparison by trained personnel.
